Ujinori Abe

Ujinori Abe (Japanese: 阿部宇治ノリ, died 1615) is a fictional character in The Army of the Bravest Men, a Japanese folk tale set in the Sengoku Period. In the story, Abe is a magistrate appointed to rule the countryside outside of Osaka by Ieyasu Tokugawa after the Osaka Campaign, and he is an ineffective and dimwitted governor. One day, he has to fight against Sadakata Kira's Toyotomi bandit army as they come across his larger army, but he is slain in the battle as his forces fall under intense attack from fierce samurai warriors. His death is a victory for the Toyotomi, who have won their first victory against the Tokugawa.
